WEEK 14 (FYP2)

Title of Activity :  Completed poster and industry day( final year project 2 presentation).


Objective : 1) to do completed the poster final year project.

                    2) study about function and program project.



Content and Analysis :
- This week I have presentation about my project. Alhamdulillah I can answer  the questions about the project.

- Poster

WEEK 13 (FYP2)

Title of Activity : My robot vacuum complete



Content and Analysis :



                                              

                                              

Alhamdulillah,my robot vacuum is finally finished and been completed this week.

WEEK 12 (FYP2)

Title of Activity : Change to the new block diagram

Objective : To show the flow process of robot vacuum


Content and Analysis :


                             

The block diagram of the vacuum robot in shows the system operates,what its inputs and outputs at various stages.It consists of Arduino microcontroller,ultrasonic distance sensor,motor drive,DC motor,LCD and vacuum.The arduino microcontroller,being the main part that controls the overall operation of the system.The ultrasonic distance sensor are used to measured distance from the walls and detect obstacles and bluetooth module (Slave) provides a wireless communication link between the arduino and android smartphone.Hence the LCD will display the number of distance between sensors from the wall.The motor drives(driver shield) allow arduino drive DC motor,controlling the speed and direction.




Conclusions:

For the conclusion on this week I have change to new block diagram and i can move to the next step to make this project successfully.

WEEK 11 (FYP2)

Title of Activity : Add Bluetooth features 

Content and Analysis :


The HC-06 Bluetooth Module (Slave) provides a wireless communication link between the Arduino and any bluetooth capable device. It's ideal replacement for wired serial connection. It enables a circuit to communicate to another circuit through wireless connectivity. Sending and receiving of data can be achieved within a range of 10 meters. It has a standard 2-pin UART connection (Tx & Rx) which makes it easy to connect to arduino board.This module board has signal conditioning circuit (5V and 3.3V compatible) for easily connect the signal pins directly to Arduino boards.There is no need for a voltage divider or voltage switching circuitry.



Conclusions:

For the conclusion on this week I have add bluetooth features to my robot vacuum.With this bluetooth features i can used android phone to control robot vacuum.

WEEK 10 (FYP2)

Title of Activity : Put vacuum into robot base 

Content and Analysis :

The main function of this robot is a vacuum . In this project, a mini vacuum cleaner that is available in the market had been used. There are several factors before choosing vacuum cleaner. The vacuum cleaner must come in a small size and requires a battery power. So, this mini vacuum cleaner had been chosen because it fulfills the two requirements.


Below are the specifications for this type of vacuum cleaner

- Uses 3.0 Volts power.

- Small size and very light

- Very powerful in cleaning work for example remove dust,iron bits,glass or wooden scraps

WEEK 9 (FYP2)

Title of Activity : Testing a DC motor

Objective : To.test a DC motor with different speeds

Content and Analysis :

Testing the motor is a process where the motor is only connected to the motor driver shield. A 5V supply is also connected to the driver. There are two port located at the driver shield. Furthermore, the DC motors are tested with a program from Arduino with a different speed.


Conclusions :

- For the conclusion on this week, i have tested a dc motor and program a suitable speed for my robot vacuum.

WEEK 8 (FYP2)

Title of Activity : Build a robot chassis


Objective : To specified the actual size that needed for the prototype in this project.


Content and Analysis :

The prototype chassis that a startup platform for small size mobile robot.My robot base are going to have different material of chassis which made from wood.This type of wood is strong with very low density which makes it perfect for light weight builds.The mechanical structure is the whole chassis of the robot. The structure will form the base where all the components such as the motor, controller and batteries are mounted. Some of the important features that the mechanical structure must possess are :

- Lightweight



Conclusions :

- For the conclusion on this week, i have build a chassis for robot vacuum and mounted all component such as motor,controller,vacuum and batteries.
